By the time the ground itself is burning, a wooden round shield is kindling. Flametal Shield replaces it for the rest of the Ashlands, with 114 block armour.
How to Craft
Craft it at a level 3 Black Forge with:
- 10x Ashwood: Chopped from scorched trees in the Ashlands.
- 8x Flametal: Smelted from Flametal Ore in a Blast Furnace.
- 2x Asksvin Hide: Dropped by Asksvin in the Ashlands.

When to Use It
This is late-game gear. Flametal comes from the Ashlands, the furthest south the map goes.
Upgrades
You can upgrade it 3 times after crafting, and each level needs the station built one step higher than the last. All other figures on this page are for quality 1, so use this table to see where your own copy sits:

Properties
This is the middle option, and the one that parries. It has less raw block armour than the tower shield of its tier, but a round shield can parry, and a parry staggers the attacker so it takes double damage while the stagger lasts.
It has 114 armour, or 171 on a parry, which makes it the best round shield in the game. Against the Flametal Tower Shield and its 140, it gives up 26 points of block for the ability to stagger whatever hits you.
Notes
- Blocking costs up to 10 stamina, depending on how much damage gets past the shield. The block breaks if the damage that gets through fills your stagger bar, which holds 40% of your maximum health, or if you run out of stamina.
- Block force is how hard a block pushes a melee attacker back. It ranges from half strength to full strength, depending on how much of the shield's block armor the hit used up.
- Some weapons have their own parry bonus: 4x on Knives and 6x on the Flesh Rippers. That beats every shield, but it only multiplies the weapon's own small block armor.
